Re: [Speed-dreams-devel] New osggraph module

[Jean-Philippe <jpm...@fr...>]

And ...

I'll soon write a (very) short HowTo in the Wiki
in order you (osggraph developers :-) know what to do and where
in CMake configuration files if you need a new OSG library for building,
(or a new OSG DLL or OSG plugin at install-time under Windows).

'cause this CMake stuff is a bit complicated :-(

More soon. Any question welcome.

Cheers,

Jean-Philippe.
